Need to add the additional behavioral rules and subsequent proofs. Dthvt 20:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger

I'm recommending that Biba Integrity Model be merged to Biba Model since the other related models all follow the "Inventor-Name Model" title convention. Dthvt 21:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. In most security textbooks and literatures the model is simply known as the "Biba Model". Atholas 04:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've started some merger work. Need someone to review or help. Luis F. Gonzalez 05:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Monk" example

How about adapting the "monk" example to a "secret researcher" example like in Bell-LaPadula model? Seems more logic to me.

Actually I think the monks analogy is very easy to understand and remember (learning for exam right now) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.128.196.95 (talk) 19:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it's very confusing, since why would a high priest not be able to read what a monk writes? The example does imply a hierarchy and a directed link, but the semantics of the metaphor don't map to reality under experiential analysis. 192.31.106.34 (talk) 13:41, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have added another analogy which further illustrates it. I think someone should pick one or the other in the long run. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.124.188.243 (talk) 08:02, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What I don't understand in these examples is that, without the ability to read reports from his scouts, the general is blind. Or does it mean the military uses both models at the same time? Orders following the Biba model, but reports following Bell-LaPadula instead? (i.e. a common soldier is not allowed to read the reports on his commander's desk) Medinoc (talk) 12:13, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
